Irrationality.
I will be receiving a mark of INC (incomplete) for my PE 1 FPF subject this coming end of the second semester. I was not able to participate in the fun (fitness) run because my parents don't want me to. The reason?
Because I came home short of 5 minutes after a wall climbing activi/ty in Market! Market! at Taguig. Men, taguig yun! Taga-manila kami. What's 5 minutes? And besides, umuwi na talaga ako kaagad after the activity kahit I want to visit one of the bookstores sa Serendra.
Hays. Irrationality.
CHILLAX.

1. Why do they post Cupid's picture inside the church?
Cupid is a Roman/Greek God. Study humanities. What are you thinking anyway? Cupid is not St. Valentine. Study your religion.
2. On being agnostic, an atheist, and a deist.
Just for clear definitons. I know what an Agnostic and an Atheist is. What the hell is a Deist?
A deist is a person who believes (based solely on reason) in a God who created the universe and then abandoned it, assuming no control over life, exerting no influence on natural phenomena, and giving no supernatural revelation. In short, God created the universe. Afterwards, he disappeared!
An atheist is a person who disbelieves that there is an existing God or Supreme Being. This is easy. There is no God. That's clear!
An agnostic person believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism. We can't claim anything. We don't have the capabilities. Uncertainty in our knowledge claim.
3. I feel something whenever I am in TriNoMa. I feel uncomfortable. I don't know why.
4. Bakit nanalo ang YES sa SR Referendum? HAHA. :)

Quantum Physics.
No way. "Timeline" is not for the boring professors of physics, It's really a 14th-century action thriller that takes you on a roller coaster ride through medieval France. If you ain't a history buff, this particular book will add some sense to you. :) But if you are, then this book is certainly a good read to test your trivias.
Wait. The writer is Crichton? Yes. To prove that it is indeed one of Crichton's work, quantum physics was included and played a major role on the story (especially the ending).
The action scenes are excellent and authentic (read: do not read this while taking inside a public vehicle!). Crichton made a real research and did a good job finding truths about France and quantum physics as well.
It's a book that drives you full throttle to the very end, makes you think, and remember something along the way. (Sooth?) I'd say that, as books goes these days (read: twilight), this book is a real read indeed.

Suspenseful. Enjoyable. And Outdated. :)
"Andromeda Strain" defines the inclusion of novels in science fiction. Crichton is alarmingly being very hardcore. [ But from the POV of a man in 2009, he's nothing but a narrator. :) ]
I think Crichton is taking some masters in twisting real science into something terrifying and believably-unbelievable.If you've seen the movie, the book will not give you any surprises.
With bias. Haha. :) I'm a Crichton fan.

The president of Switzerland stepped to a podium in Bern last May and read a statement confirming rumors that had swirled through the capital for months. The government, he acknowledged, had indeed destroyed a huge trove of computer files and other material documenting the business dealings of a family of Swiss engineers suspected of helping smuggle nuclear technology to Libya and Iran.
